rose garden of the New York Botanical 

 Garden, Bronx park. It is located just 

 south of the Mansion and north of Pel- 

 ham parkway. The garden covers an 

 area of over an acre, and about 450 

 varieties of roses are planted. The 

 water garden, with its plantings of hy- 

 brid water lilies, and the herbaceous 

 gardens are also quite interesting at this 

 time. Dr. Marshall A. Howe is in charge 

 of the dahlia garden, just north of the 

 railroad station, where he has planted 

 386 named varieties of dahlias. 



W. A. Manda, of South Orange, N. J., 

 is getting up a stock of an African 

 juniper which is likely to become a 

 desirable acquisition for florists, being 

 adapted to a number of uses. Trained 

 in various forms, it is handsome. It has 

 been found to be perfectly hardy. Mr. 

 Manda expects to oflfer it to the trade 

 next year. 



Alfred T. Bunyard has opened his 

 Newport, K. I., store for the season, and 

 will spend the summer there with his 

 family. 



.'. C. W. Brown, of the Gasser Co., 

 Cleveland, O., was a recent visitor. 



The death, Friday night, June 27, of 

 I'' ycr Otil'.', of Riedel & Meyer, Inc., 

 49 West Twenty-eighth street, was a 

 shock to his many friends in the trade. 

 He had been in a sanitarium for treat- 

 ment many weeks. Fuller notice appears 

 in this week's obituary column. 



Most of the wholesale houses are dis- 

 playing cards announcing that during 

 July and August they will close at 3 

 p. m., except on Saturdays, when the 

 closing hour will be 6 p. m. J. H. P. 



Herman Warendorflf recently returned 

 from a trip to the Pacific coast. He likes 

 the west so well he contemplates another 

 expedition before long. 



The party which will take the New 

 York Florists' Club's special cars to 

 Detroit, via Buffalo, with a side trip to 

 Niagara Falls and a boat trip across 

 Lake Erie to Detroit, is assuming good 

 proportions and bids fair to be the 

 largest delegation attending any of the 

 recent S. A. F, conventions. The fol- 

 lowing have already made reservations: 

 President and Mrs. Kessler, Messrs. 

 and Mesdames F. M. Traendly, A. L. 

 Miller, John Canning, Curt Thimm, John 

 Miesem, R. Wittman; C. H. Totty and

The Market. 



The wholesale market was in excel- 

 lent condition, considering the extreme- 

 ly hot weather all during the week. 

 The many weddings kept retailers on 

 the jump. This, with a great amount 

 of funeral work, caused a heavy de- 

 mand at all the markets. Extra fancy 

 stock was limited, but some good qual- 

 ity of seasonable stock was seen. 



The big demand was for white roses

and valley, and the scarcity in these 

 was marked all along the line in the 

 wholesale district. -Valley demanded the 

 highest price ever recorded here, $15 to 

 $17 per hundred for stock of only ordi- 

 nary quality. White roses were at a 

 premium and the price jumped a few 

 cents from quotations. Other roses, 

 such as Ophelia, Russell and Columbia, 

 were in fair supply with excellent de- 

 mand. 



Carnations are coming in soft and 

 small in flower. The demand is equal 

 to the supply. Shipped-in stock arrives 

 in sleepy condition and home-grown 

 stock has the call. Local stock, how- 

 ever, is nothing to brag about.
